Find out what’s behind the core pillars of our mission by exploring the tabs below.
Moral excellence has been woven into the fabric of our school since its founding in 1967. Honor, character, and service are promoted through academic and school life at all grade levels.
C.A.R.E.S. Crews give students PK-12 the chance to do service projects together with an older or younger buddy.
Westchester involves students in a challenging academic program that enriches their knowledge and provides opportunities for independent critical thought. Our curriculum is not merely about memorizing facts, but it is about discovering the lifelong joy learning can bring.
supportive and caring faculty help each child strive to reach his or her potential every day.
The arts are alive and well at Westchester. Elements of visual art, music, theatre and movement integrated into classroom learning encourage creativity and help students learn to convey ideas. There are also vibrant extracurricular arts programs, including clubs and ensembles, theatre productions, and private lessons.
Annual musicals and plays give students practical experience in performance and production. All, beginner to experienced, are welcome.
Wildcats love to win, but ultimately we measure excellence in terms of developing areas of personal growth for our student athletes. We live by our motto, Mens Sana in Corpore Sano, “A sound mind in a sound body.”
